Pastoral lucky girl's counterattack

Chapter 18
The village head led them all the way to the west of the village, until they walked out of the village, they saw a small courtyard in a slightly flat place at the foot of the mountain. The courtyard wall was made of big stones, high and strong.

At the gate of the courtyard, the village chief went to knock on the door, and an old man on crutches came to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw the village chief and two people coming, so he made up his mind and let the three of them into the courtyard. The house? Let’s talk in the house first!” After everyone entered the house, the old man wanted to pour water for them to drink, but the village chief stopped him.

"Uncle Jiang, sit down first, and tell this child your conditions for selling the house." There are still conditions for buying a house, Qiu Laifu was a little puzzled.

"Can you make the decision, child?" The old man asked first. "Sir, please tell me that I can be the head of my family." Da Chen who was beside him also nodded.The village chief was taken aback for a moment.

He didn't ask the child if he could make the decision just now, he just believed him because he thought it was brought by his acquaintance Chen Da.I didn't feel my old face became hot.Without realizing it, I treated this child as an adult.

The old man Jiang began to talk about it, "My surname is Jiang, and my name is Qinghai. I was an immigrant 13 years ago. I fled here when there was a famine in my hometown. I thought this place was good, so I stayed here.

Old man, I have learned a little martial arts since elementary school, and I can basically protect myself when I go hunting in the mountains.So I settled down at the foot of the mountain and built this high courtyard wall. At that time, I built two huts by myself. Later, I saved some money from hunting and built these blue brick and tile houses today.

I originally had two sons, but the year before last my eldest son Jiang Yuanbin was conscripted away.As soon as I went, there was no reply.Last year my youngest son, Jiang Yuanhua, went hunting with a few guys from the same village, but he fell off a cliff, leaving no corpses.

My old woman fainted when she heard the news, and went there the next day.Now I am a lonely old man left in this huge yard. Now that I am old and life is a bit difficult, I just hope to sell the yard to get some money to live on.

I can't sell all of my yard, I want to keep two rooms to live in, I believe my sons are still in this world, I want to wait for them to come back. "The old man blinked his eyes a few times and continued, "I only live in the two rooms on the east side, and there are six other rooms. I wonder if your house is enough to live in?" "

Qiu Laifu smiled wryly in his heart, "It's enough, there are only three people in my family." The village head and Chen Daju were taken aback, because the village head felt that there were fewer people.However, Chen Da felt that the population was not equal to the number of people listed on the road guide. At that time, Qiu Laifu showed him the road guide when he went to find him.Fortunately, neither the village head nor Chen Da asked too much.

In the end, Qiu Laifu bought the six houses with 15 taels of silver. He paid 5 taels of money first, and the rest will be paid after the deed is transferred.

Now that the house is settled, Qiu Laifu will move his family from the boat to the shore.You need to hire someone to move. You must know that there is still an unconscious person on board, and you must find someone to carry it.Naturally, I couldn’t help asking the village chief, “Uncle village chief, please help me find two people to help me move. My belongings are all on the boat.” The key point is that there is a patient on the boat that must be carried.

"On the boat, your family used to be on the boat?" The village head felt a little strange. "Yes. Uncle Village Chief, we lived on the boat before we came here." Qiu Laifu didn't intend to say more.

The village chief found the neighbors Zhong Dazhu and his son who were the closest neighbors to this yard.Zhong Dazhu's son Zhong Zibai is already fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is a good hand at going up and down the mountain.When the village head saw that the person lying on the bed had no intention of getting up, he asked, "Laifu, who is this lying person? If he is asleep, we will make a lot of noise when we move things. Besides, he Even though he's an adult but doesn't come out to do things, let a kid like you work hard, he can really sleep."

Qiu Laifu smiled mischievously, "It's not what you think, he's sick, and he's still in a coma. So please ask Uncle to help me carry him ashore." The village chief found out that he had misunderstood, "So that's the case, then I Carry him with your Uncle Zhong, and I promise to carry him to the house smoothly for you."

Zhong Dazhu was also a real person, and he immediately cooperated with the village head to remove the bed board where the patient was lying and lift him up.The patient moved away and everything else was easy to carry. Qiu Laifu and Zhong Zibai each carried some things on their backs and it was almost enough.The rest of Qiu Laifu and Zhong Zibai made another trip.With the help of these two people, Qiu Laifu's house was quickly moved, and only the bunk bed was left on the boat. Qiu Laifu did not dismantle it, because she thought that this kind of small bed could only be used on the boat.Or someday it will be available.

Qiu Laifu took Hu Zi to tidy up the house again, and the house was barely moveable.Qiu Laifu himself chose the two rooms next to old man Jiang. This room is the most middle of the yard, and he feels that it is easiest to control the movement of the whole yard. This is Qiu Laifu's habit in his previous life.

Huzi originally wanted to live in the same room with her, but Qiu Laifu drove them to the next room, and Qiu Laifu used two rooms, because she needed a room dedicated to researching medicine.The wounded were arranged in the westernmost room.One room is used as a living room for receiving guests, and only one room is left in the back garden.Temporarily as a utility room.

After all the things were moved into the house, they were basically settled down. The Zhong family and his son were about to leave, and Qiu Laifu left them after eating.Of course the village head and Chen Da will stay, because Chen Da came here on her boat, and if they go back, they still don’t know how to get there, because the only way from Zhangjia Village to the town is by water, and the mountain road has to pass through several big mountains and forests. Needless to say, there are ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests.Besides, Qiu Laifu's family moved in a hurry, and the land deed and house deed were not in his name yet.So she planned to finish the matter in the afternoon.Only then is my heart at ease.However, the transfer of the land deed and house deed must be handled by the village head, and it will be faster and more convenient to have the help of a middle-aged person.

Qiu Laifu borrowed old man Jiang's kitchen to cook a simple meal, white rice with fried cabbage and scrambled eggs, and steamed a plate of salted fish, which was dried in the sun a few days ago.Although the meal was simple, Qiu Laifu did his best to prepare it.

But in the eyes of the village head and Chen Da, they both thought the food was very good.White rice is not affordable for every family, fried cabbage is oiled, eggs are even more expensive food, and the salted fish is delicious and attractive, which is also a meaty dish.

Qiu Laifu invited old man Jiang to have dinner together.In the main room, eight people can sit around an Eight Immortals table, and if you add the wounded person, it will be exactly one table.But even though there were seven of us, everyone ate happily.After the meal, Huzi took the initiative to do the dishes and tidy up.Qiu Laifu, the village chief, and Chen Da went to handle the transfer of ownership, and by the way, registered the household registration.The Zhong family father and son went home after dinner.

The three of them took Qiu Laifu's boat to Sanya Town. On the way, the village head looked at the boat carefully, "Laifu, is your boat a new one?"

"It's been about a month, and I changed it a little bit, which is quite convenient."

"You're a smart kid, and you're sure to have a great future when you grow up." The village chief praised him casually.

"The village chief has praised him, but they are actually small ideas that can be used in emergencies." Qiu Laifu is very self-aware.

"You are quite modest, that's right. Modesty makes people progress, and you can be useful if you are not arrogant or impetuous." Qiu Laifu dared not answer this question. In this ancient times, women would not dare to come out and be useful.Qiu Laifu smiled lightly and shook his head.The village head thought that he was acquiescing to what he said.
